FITCHBURG SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1937 Scout Council Pays Reverent Tribute To Major Wheelock Appreciation of long years of valuable service which the late Major Henry H. Wheelock gave to the Boy Scout movement in this city was expressed in a resolution adopted by the members of the executive committee of the Fitchburg council and presented at the annual meeting of the council last night. The resolution, drawn by Bruce F. Jeffery, William L. McBnde and Albert G.

Neal, follows: "Mr. Wheelock gave himself without reserve to the cause of youth, and scouting was his dominant interest. The withdrawal of his guid- fobs to a "TKe "camping wftich no was such a valued member. In his earlier years of association with that committee he gave unstintedly of his time and energy in developing The" 'scouT Neesepbhseff," si" North Dana. After the acquisition of Camp Lowe he continued his unselfish devotion to the work of the camp committee and there is no doubt that the successful record of Camp Lowe is due in no small measure to his great enthusiasm and untiring interest it.

"He had the happy faculty not only of making friends but of hold- ing friendships. He was original in his ideas. He was successful in his jnethods He was loyal in his allegiance. His ideal 1 with reference 4o what scouting should stand for were.jiigh. His reminder possession of "character and ability; the cultivation of mind and manners, the development of humor and sympathy, the blending of them in one engaging personality, creates something that makes itself felt equally in the home, business and in the community at large.

NeaJr Naturalisation Fees $10,175, Bowen Reports (Special to The Sentinel) WORCESTER, Jan 13--Naturalization fees received in the Worcester county courthouse during the to the annual report of William C. Bowen, clerk of courts. The report shows that, with the exception of Judge Urges Sterilization Law To Curb Juvejiile Delinquency At Pilgrim Men's Club Meeting Advocating sterilization as a means of lowering juvenile delinquency, Judge Kenneth p.

Johnson of Boston, speaking before a packed meeting of the Pilgrim church Men's league, urged those present to get behind a "move to bring about laws governing sterilization in Massachusetts similar to those now in effect in Connecticut." "Many of the cases which come to my attention as a judge," he said, "are the direct result of social It is my belief that these cases can be curbed if proper sterilization laws are put into effect. in Connecicut, to my mind, would be an invaluable aid in keeping at a minimum cases of child waywardness and neglect." ton, the Worcester court did more naturalization business than any other county in Massachusetts the past year. With the exception of $3000 of the total fees which went to the county treasurer. Clerk Bowen sent the money to the federal government. The report of Mr.

Bowen further shows that 1824 persons filed declarations of intention to take out first papers and 1108 persons were admitted to citizenship, of which 335 were admitted at the Fitchburg sessions. The report also shows that 355 civil cases were disposed of during 1936. On June 1, 1936, a total of 5057 civil cases were pending as compared with 6950 in 1929. This decrease was due to an effort on the part of the clerk to remove all cases from the docket from which no Further action was contemplated. were 835, lr posed of, leaving but 13 to carry over for this year.

Tu'-bring 1 point; -image Johnson told of a recent case in which five little children had been brought into his Quincy court. The charge was neglect, he said. The parents were in state institutions for the'mentally incurable. "Three of these children had never seen their father," he continued, they had been born blind as a result of the Sins of their parents. This was the case where proper laws for sterilization would have been a blessing.

Twenty-five cents out of every taxable dollar go to state institutions for mental diseases and many of the cases there are the direct result of social diseases." Laws in Connecticut, according to Judge Johnson, force every couple who plan to marry to obtain a health certificate fro ma recognized physician, which must be presented when application for a marriage license is made. If a couple are unable to obtain such a certificate, they may not be married unless they subject themselves to sterilization. "Such laws are not cruel," he said, "but are simply an aid in keeping at a minimum the birth of children who might be mentally or physically handicapped. A farmer would not propagate new life amonk any of his animals who are unhealthy. Why then should humans act in such a fashion as to bring into the world or mentally deficient? "I have had many cases of high school pupils in Quincy, during the tune that I was there, to cause a Hfe stich laws.

It is a problem which is becoming more vital every day and I urge you to get behind a movement which would bring laws governing sterilization to Massachusetts." Nearly 200 men jammed the vestry of the Pilgrim Congregational 'church to hear Judge Johnson. Eighty members of the Brotherhood of the Salem square church in Worcester, headed by their pastor, Rev. F. A. Ericson, were guests.

Following greetings by President Philip Peterson, Lennerd T. Jacobson of Worcester, past president of the Pilgrim church Men's league, led the devotional services. Refreshments were served by a committee under the direction of Clarence Corneli.
